We recently lost one of our oldest and most emblematic primates, our Delacour’s female Manu. Like her, we can see some of our residents growing old and sometimes turning EPRC into their final resting place.
Mới gần đây, chúng tôi đã mất đi một trong cá thể linh trưởng lớn tuổi và tiêu biểu nhất của chúng tôi – cô voọc mông trắng Manu. Cũng như cô ấy, chúng ta có thể nhận thấy sự già đi của nhiều cá thể khác và điều này đôi khi khiến EPRC thành nơi an nghỉ cuối cùng của họ.
It is truly a magic of nature when you see the orange heads of baby langurs popping out from their mothers’ black arms (in case of Hatinh langurs). All of these 5 infants were born at EPRC and now are grown-ups, healthy and strong – waiting for their possible release days in the future. The baby langurs may look alike, but if you look more closely, you will spot out some slight differences.
On 22nd of February, Loem the Delacour’s langur gave birth to a baby in the semi-wild enclosure. The sex of the newborn has been a mystery until recently.
Five Delacour’s langurs living in the semi-wild area are planned to be released to the wild in the near future. However, on the 22nd of February, to our surprise, Loem, the 6-year-old female Delacour’s langur, gave birth to a baby for the first time in her life. The population of Delacour’s langur is estimated to be less than 250 individuals, thus the birth of an offspring never fails to bring us immense joy.

We’ve got great news! A new Delacour’s langur was born in the semi-wild enclosure and we just got the very first photos of this happy family. Check them out in this video.
Delacour’s langur is considered to be the flagship of, not only the EPRC, but also of Cuc Phuong National Park. With estimated population of less than 250 individuals, seeing an offspring born in EPRC always gives us a sense of privilege and pride because our conservation efforts have been paid off.
